Triple Stamping- Snowflakes!

Have you ever done a triple stamping technique before?  It is so easy to do!  And I love the way it looks when you are done.  

This is one of the cards that everyone joining me for my October monthly classes will be making.  

These cool snowflakes are from the 'Frosted Foliage' stamp set.   

Here are the 3 different sizes that the Whisper White cardstock is:
  • 4 x 5 1/4"
  • 3 x 4 1/4"
  • 2 x 3 1/4
Then lay the 3 pieces of these cardstock, on top of each other, so that you have even spacing around each layer.  
NOTE:  I add a TINY bit of my snail to one corner of each of the 2 smaller Whisper White Layers, so that they don't move.  You will want to carefully pull them apart after you are done stamping.  Don't use too much adhesive- as you don't want them stuck together too tightly.  You are just trying to keep them from moving around during stamping.

Then you stamp over the top of all of them at one time- as if they are just one piece of Whisper White card stock.   

NOTE:  If you have a fine line along the edges (between the different layers of card stock) that doesn't get quite stamped well- no worries!!  When you add your Blueberry Bushel layer piece behind the Whisper White snowflake pieces- you won't be able to see that little edge that doesn't have a crisp stamped image on it.  
 This is what it looks like after you stamp onto them, when they are all together. 
And these are what all 3 layers looks like when they are separated.

You will then assemble your card by layering these 3 different stamped snowflake pieces of cardstock onto the Blueberry Bushel card stock layers. 

Here are the Blueberry Bushel layers:
  • 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" for card base
  • 3 1/4 x 4 1/2"
  • 2 1/4 x 3 1/2"
stamp set: 'Frosted Foliage' & 'Peaceful Boughs' (words)
card stock:
  • Blueberry Bushel- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4" for the card base; 3 1/4 x 4 1/2"; 2 1/4 x 3 1/2"; 1/2 x 4 1/4" (for center Banner)
  • Whisper White- for card front- 4 x 5 1/4"; 3 x 4 1/4"; 2 x 3 1/4"; for inside of card- 4 x 5 1/4"
  • Seaside Spray- 2" strip (stamp words & punch them out with the Story Label Punch
ink:  Blueberry Bushel
other:  Story Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tailored Tag Punch (to flag the ends of the center banner strip)
++++++++
Yesterday was a wet & chilly day outside....so we were stuck inside all day.  We read books, played games & made some 'Forky' crafts from the Toy Story 4 movie.  

Last night when the kids went home I burnt the midnight oil cutting card stock.

This morning I'm up to stamp & will then spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  And tonight I'll be burning the midnight oil cutting card stock.  I have a jam packed weekend full of lots & lots of stamping!

Gotta run.......I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!! 
Happy Stamping!
